Shout out to all the Dutch people!

Yep, I am teaching my (English) boyfriend Dutch at the minute and we are reading Jip en Janneke! After we've finished that, we will move on to my primary school books, hahaha, bless! xD If you are interested in cheap children's books, you might want to consider the Lijsters. Unfortunately the website is in Dutch though... but I am sure your dad could help you

I applied to 1 Dutch University for a Bachelor's programme. I was wondering if anyone on here knows when the deadline is for applying to the full tuition fee loan if I want to start the programme this coming September 2011? Please don't tell me I have missed the deadline.

If you are applying for the Dutch tuition fee loan then as far as I am aware there really is no deadline. If your course starts in september but you apply in December then you will still get your your tuition feel loan from september till the end of your course.

I must say I think we blend in perfectly. No one has ever realised I was dutch, many have asked whether I was from South-Africa though haha so I'm sure there is some sort of accent going on but they can't quite put their finger on it

Yeah, people find it really hard to place my accent, I've had people think I'm Canadian, Russian, French, South African... I'm not sure if my pronunciation is so bastardised, or they just don't know what they're talking about! My name is quite typically Frisian though, so sometimes Dutch or German people recognise it and ask me about it.
